YouTube Keyboard Shortcuts Not Working?
Make sure:
- You are using YouTube.com through a web browser
- You are using a desktop or laptop. These shortcuts may not work on a mobile device.
- The YouTube video itself has focus. Use the tab key to give it the focus, or click on it. If clicking it paused it, then just unpause it and the video player will retain focus.
